Yep, it’s that time of year folks... Offices small and large are having their annual Christmas party. Just the words "Christmas Party" can stir up feelings of dread, excitement, and honestly, a little bit of fear. Oh, and embarrassment, let's not forget what happened last year... Organisers run through all the possible scenarios in the pursuit of the perfect day. What if there’s not enough food? What if Sam from sales gets drunk again? Is the Santa costume too much? And Secret Santa. Don’t even get me started on the stress of Secret Santa. This year at Delta Force HQ we did something a little different. We enjoyed a delicious lunch (there was definitely enough food). And then we entered the car park (not the most glamorous of venues, we'll admit), feeling curious and excited. It’s a tradition at HQ that the day is a complete surprise, so it was a mystery. We were ready for the challenge, whatever it was. There on the ground sat a boxed bike, a helmet, a toolkit and a bag of what can only be described as Duplo on steroids. It was simple, beat or be beaten. we had to work as a team to achieve victory. We were split into our teams (signified by some beautiful coloured caps), and experienced a team building marathon like no other.
We all learnt a few things that day.
1. Justin can rap like no other, and has dance moves that rival Michael Jackson. 2. Terry is a master of Jenga with cat-like reflexes that we'd never seen before. 3. Sharon likes to win (we already knew that, but we think it's worth mentioning). As the day drew to a close, we started our final challenge- building the bikes. Team vs. team, we struggled to build the bikes as quickly as possible. There was some stealing of tools,but a little bit of sabotage never hurt anyone. Our bikes were certified as safe to ride.
And then it was over.

But not quite.

The sweaty, satisfied Delta Force HQ crew were in for a surprise.
The bikes we had just built were not for our own childlike amusement. Rather, these special bikes would be given to children in need. Children in our own backyard. These children were from homes affected by alcohol and drug abuse. They have endured experiences that many of us will never know. Family friends, aunties and more often than not their aging grandparents were charged with raising them. A special group called the Mirabel Foundation works with these children, to support and guide them as they grow up. They work tirelessly to provide these children with a normal, happy childhood, and that’s what the bikes were for. Because every child deserves a bike. We watched the kids come one by one to pick up their bikes, our awesome staff helping them to ride around our car park. They were shy at first, but after a helping hand and a smile they were grinning and racing around in no time. It’s not often you get to experience that kind of innocent joy. This Christmas is going to be a little more special for us here at Delta Force HQ. It’s not often you really step back to think about how lucky you truly are. We can take for granted our loving family and friends. Many of these children can’t. But hopefully a few of these children will have a brighter Christmas this year, and that's enough to keep us smiling. We can’t wait for our Christmas party next year, though I’m not quite sure how it will possibly beat this year’s. Have a Merry Christmas, from the Delta Force Paintball Crew.
Paintball is the new crossfit!
When you think of paintball the majority of people think about being shot at, the bruises, and the cool overalls you get to wear. For one, you can totally avoid bruises by wearing combat suits and some protective layers. And honestly, shooting a paintball marker at your friends is way more fun than anyone lets on. We’ve uncovered a few reasons for everyone to give paintball a go, especially if they are looking for an active day out. It gets the heart pumping. If you haven’t already had a peek at the article written by our friends over at health fitness revolution, have a gander here <insert link>. Paintball is definitely a cardio workout that will see your heart rate rise in no time at all! It gets the brain cogs turning. Paintball is more than just running around, shooting enemies. It’s a strategic game that requires a solid game strategy to win. We like to think of it as extreme chess; you just gotta get one player out at a time. Exercise boosts endorphins. This is a well known fact, and is one of the many reasons people love playing paintball. You get the heart pumping, releasing all those happy hormones. Happy hormones, combined with playing with a group of mates, and you’re in for a fantastic time. Want #gains? Try paintball. It is a game that requires strength just as much as it does cardio fitness. All the squatting, lunging and army crawling can lead to some serious muscle, all in the name of fun! Is there anything better than hanging out with your friends? Let alone being able to hang out at a place where you can run around cool props and pretend like you’re the warriors you wanted to be when you were kids. Being able to spend time with your friends is key to happiness, and paintball provides to perfect opportunity to hang out with those you love (and shoot at those you love a little less). At Delta Force Paintball you can play in sessions with your friends. Try dressing up or coming out for a birthday party, you’ll be surprised at how much fun you’ll have.
Over the last 10 years Delta Force Paintball and the Australasian Paintball Association (AUPBA) have campaigned the NSW Government and NSW Firearms Division, in an effort to instigate positive reform to the paintball industry. Today we received confirmation that these proposed changes have been approved by Cabinet and are likely to come into full effect over the coming months. The key points from this Cabinet approval include:
- The NSW government has agreed to modernise the regulatory structure and reduce red tape for the paintball industry, while maintaining robust public safety controls.
- The Government intends to introduce legislation in 2018-19 which will give effect to the new regulatory scheme.
- Under the new scheme, responsibility for regulating the industry will transfer from NSW Police to the Department of Finance, Service and Innovation (DFSI). There is expected to be a reduction in the minimum age for players, and streamlining of the permit system. Consumer protection and community safety remain two of the highest priorities for the government and these considerations underpin any legislative changes.
- It will take some time after the legislation passes the NSW Parliament to commence the new regulatory scheme – DFSI will need to put in place to the new IT infrastructure to support the scheme, and venues will need to ensure that public liability insurance, working with children checks and work health and safety systems are updated to prepare for these changes.
- DFSI looks forward to continuing to work with industry during the transition phase.
Similar restrictions exist in the QLD paintball industry where the minimum age for paintball is 15 years old. Delta Force Paintball and the AUPBA have been working hard to realign the rules and regulations to fall inline with other more forward-thinking states and to now fall inline with the NSW paintball reforms. It’s an exciting day for paintball advocates and operators across New South Wales and we’re hopeful that this positive change will help instigate positive change to the QLD paintball industry. The two NSW-based Delta Force Paintball centres are now busily preparing to open their doors to a new, younger market with bespoke paintball playing arenas and customised paintball equipment.
